Burt Logan, CEO & Executive Director of the Ohio History Connection, said in a press release that Music Hall received the reward for several reasons.

“The work restored architectural details that had been lost to time and earlier alterations, while incorporating modern amenities that improve the experience for performers and audiences," Logan said. "Music Hall Revitalization Company and its partners have done a remarkable job of preserving this National Historic Landmark and extending its useful life for generations to come.”

Society for the Preservation of Music Hall President Peter Koenig said he was honored to be involved with the project for most of the past decade.

“This prestigious award from the State of Ohio’s official historic preservation agency recognizes the fulfillment of MHRC‘s mission to organize and lead the renovation of Music Hall," Koenig said in a press release. "In addition, the award underscores the steadfast commitment of SPMH to its mission of preserving and improving Music Hall, and perpetuating the venue as the premier cultural center of the region and as a National Historic Landmark of international significance.”
